Abstract

We show the 3-manifold at infinity of the complex hyperbolic triangle group Δ3,,;\Delta_{3,\infty,\infty;\infty} is the three-cusped "magic" 3-manifold 6136_1^3. We also show the 3-manifold at infinity of the complex hyperbolic triangle group Δ3,4,;\Delta_{3,4,\infty;\infty} is the two-cusped 3-manifold m295m295 in the Snappy Census, which is a 3-manifold obtained by Dehn filling on one cusp of 6136_1^3. In particular, hyperbolic 3-manifolds 6136_1^3 and m295m295 admit spherical CR uniformizations. These results support our conjecture that the 3-manifold at infinity of the complex hyperbolic triangle group Δ3,n,m;\Delta_{3,n,m;\infty} is the one-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold from the "magic" 6136_1^3 via Dehn fillings with filling slopes (n2)(n-2) and (m2)(m-2) on the first two cusps of it.
